[0:00]I once worked with a student who was so distracted and struggled with focus so much that they thought they had ADHD. And after around two months, they were more focused than they'd ever been. Let me tell you what I did and what you can do to have that kind of transformation. His name was Stefan, he was a uni student from Belgium. He just procrastinated like crazy and I went through the normal system that I would go through. So first of all, identify all the distractions, identify all the triggers. What are the things that are actually making you procrastinate rather than just labeling it "procrastination"? Then number two, what can we do to remove those triggers from the environment? It's always easier to just remove distractions than to try to resist them. And then number three, we did some regular mindfulness meditation, 20 minutes a day just to retrain their brain and help it settle down and let go of thoughts so it wasn't so easily distracted. After two months of doing this, his procrastination was almost completely gone. If you struggle with procrastination and getting easily distracted, give this a go.
